I am, however, very aware that this bullshite media storm will take its toll on the team. The harassment from the other fans will take its toll on the team. And having opposing players feign anger will impact the team.

Meh, baseball players are always looking for a chip to have on their shoulders and carry around. I'm sure it will get old for these guys quickly but it will not effect on-field performances for an extended period of time.

And if you think the pitching situation is all cherry blossoms and princess farts, I’ve got bad news for you.

The pitching is fine. You have two veteran TOR arms, a guy coming off TJ who is a competitor with plus stuff, a potential innings limit could play a factor later in the season for LMJ but ideally the division is in hand before that time. Urquidy who flashed on the biggest of all stages and has a full spring with the big club. Oh and Strom is still in that dugout who has been known to make chicken salad out of chicken shite. Outside of the Yankees everyone in the AL has pitching question marks.

This team is still loaded 1-7 in the lineup, has an interesting mix of bullpen options to get outs and has very veteran leadership in clubhouse and at the manager position.

Yea the A's got better but they have a lineup that doesn't strike fear, and they are depending on lots of young arms and bitch arse Fiers in their rotation.

Angels will have to win high scoring games all season they cannot pitch worth a lick. Rotation is thin and bullpen is terrible.
